I agree Jimmer, I was just didn't want to assume that was what was meant.

Two years ago, Howie's rants at April made me very uncomfortable and I was not an April fan. A few weeks back BB actually upped the ante themselves by instructing America's Player to mess with someone's personal belongings. Dick is a fan of the game. I don't like him or his game play but I think he is getting out of hand based on cues he has picked up. A few years back someone was shown the door for throwing a chair in an empty room. Those restraints no longer seem to apply. And Dick realizes it.

My hope is that Dick gets wind of their little bash and trash sessions. Jamika and Amber won't get away with it. No one wants to go to the end with someone they think everyone likes.

This thread does continue to amuse me ... I must admit.

Can you imagine the turmoil if instead of Jen he was in the house with Ivette and was going after her?

Although I don't like it, "verbal abuse" is allowed within the rules of the game. If you find a person's button - you're allowed to push it as long as it doesn't become physical or doesn't threaten them outside the house. Dick was warned about the comments he made to Jen regarding what he'd do to her outside the house.

Again - I don't like it, but it is a game tactic and most seasons it has been used. Sometimes we see it used specifically as a tactic, othertimes, like this year, not really a tactic but more personal.

Ivette was a crier just like Amber, Daniele, & Kail. It would not have worked the same way.

To me it seems that is all he was wanting Jen to do. He was trying to break her and she refused.

Dick and Jen have been my two favorites. As much as he has been bullying Jen, I didn't take it too seriously. I was still in love with him. But this tea thing is the straw that has broken the camel's back. I would still like think i like him the most in the house after jen, but i don't want to see what he'll do next to make me want to hate him again. Please Dick, stop bullying Jen

Earthmother - "She was asking him questions and he was giving her one word answers, but she certainly was not in fear for her safety. When he went off to play games with Zach she went upstairs."

Oh I believe that. Jen has pretty much remained civil to everyone no matter how stressful the moment was. I agree that she is not afraid of Dick like Kail can be at times. Jen seems to handle herself extremely well in high stress situations. That's been a major topic since this BB started. After the first episode this year, I was saying that "the girl ain't right"....but I have since decided that her ability to remain graceful under pressure is just her superpower.
:-)

This is the part I was referring to when I said "you were reaching":

"I'm not sure if I believe they are really enemies. I'm thinking that they might just be in this together."

That's the part I just can't stamp. I can't believe that Dick and Jen are in it together, but I can believe that they are living in relatively peaceful coexistence (for the time being). I think that's due in part because of Jen's ability to stay composed in such stressful situations and also because Dick was warned by BB (twice).

Dick is the one that's afraid now.

Actually I am not allowed to tell you why I think that.



But Jimmer touched on a good portion of why I think that. I think it is obvious that Daniele would WHINE incessantly if he didn't share a good portion of that money with her, and it has also been established that Daniele is accustomed to using expensive products, makeup, etc. I would bet my own paycheck on the fact that Daniele would not only show more outwardly LOVE toward Dick if he won, she would also expect a great deal from him financially.

But wasn't it Dick that went round to everyone whining about Zach and Nick's agreement to share the money? Don't tell me he would really "break the rules" and share the money with his daughter? ~sarcastic laughing~

How can they do anything about him spending the money on his family? They can't split the money as hgs, but if he wants to help his daughter with her rent who's to say he can't?

SF.. honey, being graceful under pressure doesn't mean following him to the storeroom to help him find sugar. "not right" or just game, time will tell.

"being graceful under pressure doesn't mean following him to the storeroom to help him find sugar."

It doesn't mean "alliance" either.:-)

Maybe she followed him and helped in the storeroom because she senses he's afraid of getting in trouble now. I think Dick calls that "getting in someone's head".

Okay we both win!!!!!

It also proves that she enjoys baiting him.

I for one do not believe for one second that Dick didn't know Danielle was going to be in the house. I'd bet all the money I have ever made on the fact that they both knew.
I won't label him an abuser because Jen is not an innocent who can't do anything about it, but Dick is very vulgar and he pesters people. I just wish that Jen would have poured something back on him. At this point, I really just want to get in that house and tell Dick to grow up.

Interesting question, Nick, but I think BB shot themselves in the foot w/ that one when they put a father and daughter team together, especially considering the daughter is still so young and not legally able to drink, etc. Many parents are still supporting their children at that age.

Neither Dick nor Dani strike me as the types who would really CARE what BB said about it.

I don't see Jen as enjoying baiting Dick. I think she wants to make sure he knows she's not intimidated by him. Or maybe (being the usual clueless Jen) it doesn't even occur to her that it could be viewed that way; she's so over it.

Oh geez! She follows him around for crying out loud.

And gimme a break. Jen is not clueless. She knows exactly what she is doing.

I'd like to see Daniele get totally tanked on her upcoming 21st birthday and tell Dick exactly what she feels, and in no uncertain terms.

You think it would be fun to see a daughter trashing her father on national Tv? Wow

That's how I see it, too, Guinevere.

It's funny how Dick can get away with all the cruel and hateful things he has said and done, but all Jen has to do is help him find the sugar and she's the one that's doing the baiting?
